New Aeration Solution Delivers Natural Whole-Lake Visual Circulation in Texas Field Study
Innovative aeration pump provides whole-lake visual circulation without disrupting natural balance, offering scalable solutions for ecosystems of any size. 'With the BBCP, we deliver an industry leading lake aeration providing whole-lake visual circulation that supports fish habitats, reduces energy use, and scales from small ponds to large reservoirs.'— Jerry Kellgren, Inventor GORDONVILLE, TX, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2025 / / -- Big Bubble Technologies, Inc. has announced the launch of a groundbreaking four-day field study in Gordonville, Texas, showcasing its innovative Big Bubble Circulation Pump (BBCP). Early results already demonstrate the system's unmatched ability to generate surface ripples spanning more than four acres from a single 14-inch unit - setting a new standard in surface energy transfer while preserving the lake's natural thermal balance. The BBCP is engineered to lift 400–500 gallons per minute of deep, cool water straight to the surface in a narrow, non-mixing vertical large bubble plume. This unique approach avoids disrupting the thermocline, ensuring cooler, oxygen-rich bottom layers remain intact for fish habitat, while increasing oxygenation at the surface. The system is highly adaptable, with configurations available for lakes, ponds, and lagoons of any size, making it equally suited for recreational and wastewater treatment applications. Key Differentiators of the BBCP: The BBCP introduces a visual circulation method distinct from traditional small-bubble diffusers. By complementing existing aeration solutions, it offers: Thermocline Preservation: Protects warm and cool layers for healthier aquatic ecosystems. Large-Scale Surface Impact: A single unit produces ripple fields exceeding four acres that reflect and diffuse the sunlight required for weed and algae growth. Scalability: Customizable for everything from small ponds to large reservoirs. Targeted Energy Use: Moves deep water efficiently without unnecessary mixing. Reduced Evaporation: Cooler surface water slows evaporation in hot climates. During the August 26–29 field study, researchers will also compare BBCP performance with a Vertex XL-5 diffuser, which circulates over 12,000 GPM but mixes the entire water column, eliminating the thermocline. While the XL-5 will serve as a calibration benchmark for sonar imaging, the BBCP will be the focus of advanced testing using Mini DOT® loggers, thermal imaging drones, and Secchi disk clarity monitoring. Following the initial field phase, a year-long study will evaluate the BBCP's performance with supplemental low-flow diffusers and bubble tubing, designed to enhance oxygen delivery to deeper layers. Jerry Kellgren, BBCP inventor and co-founder of Big Bubble Technologies Inc, commented: 'This study isn't just about introducing another aeration product - it's about rethinking how we manage water bodies in both recreational and municipal settings. The BBCP offers a smarter, more efficient way to move water that preserves ecosystem balance and can be scaled to fit virtually any application.'

Gardeners MUST carry out essential task if they want to get thick, bushy & super green lawns that last all summer
MANY people want thick, luscious lawns in their garden, but it can be tricky to achieve with hot weather and weeds springing up. One green-fingered whizz has shared an essential task you should do to get great results that last all summer. 4 4 A fellow gardener had made a plea for help after using Westland Triple Care on their grass, which they claim left it looking 'patchy.' Taking to the Facebook group Gardening on a Budget Official, they shared: 'What on earth! 'The grass was a little patchy and had some moss. 'I used this last week after spending two days using an aerator. 'The state of the grass now..... 'It wasn't like this before using this box of destruction! 'This is my first post on here and some help or advice would be appreciated. What should I do now.' Thankfully the gardening fan had some words of advice to save the day - and said that Westland Triple Care, which is £10 on Amazon, did actually work for her. They explained that it is aerating that 'does that' to lawns, but you need to 'water at least half an hour a day after using the seeds' to revive it. She explained the same thing had happened to her, and said: 'Mine was aerated. I was gutted, cried for a week. 'I waited till it was warmer as done in March, then I seeded, used two large boxes as did back and front. The four easy steps to get your tired lawn lush for summer & you don't need to worry about pigeons ruining it either 'I put the sprinkler on every morning at 7 o clock and every evening at 9 o clock. 'Once you get all the dead stuff up, sprinkle more, see and wait. 'Mine took 6 weeks of true dedication. 'I watered whether it rained or not as lawns are dry as a bone two inch down. 'All is not lost, good luck.' The upset gardener thanked her for her help and said he would 'water, water, water' his grass. The Westland Triple Care lawn feed is said to 'nourish your grass but also tackle weeds and moss head-on.' It is said to create 'a strong and healthy lawn', with greening visible within seven days - if used between the months of February and October.

SERIES 36 | Episode 12 Clarence has some tips to share on keeping your turf in top shape. A lush lawn doesn't have to be full of chemicals or a drain on the water supply; the healthier your lawn, the less water and fertiliser it will need. 1. Aerate first. Lawns get compacted by foot traffic; aeration helps restore air pockets, allows rain to penetrate, and improves drainage. Simply go over the lawn with a garden fork, loosening the soil every 30cm or so. It's a good idea to do this at least once a year, but especially important to do after inundation or before top-dressing with fertiliser. 2. Level up low patches with sand before applying any top dressing. Use a wide rake to even out the sand – but use the flat back as well as the front to get it really flat. 3. The rest of the lawn is looking pretty good, so Clarence top dresses with a mix of sand and compost. Aim to apply about 100ml of the mix on the grass, first by broadscale scattering with a shovel then levelling out with the rake. 4. Water in with diluted liquid fertiliser, evenly spread across the lawn. 5. Water it all in. 6. Leave the lawn a bit longer to avoid roots getting burnt. Filmed on Dharawal Country | Wollongong, NSW
